Top-Rated Montauk Shark Fishing | 10-Hour Charter

Shark Fishing Frenzy in Montauk's Deep Blue

Hey there, shark seekers! If you're itching for a hardcore day of fishing that'll get your heart racing, boy do I have the trip for you. We're talking 10 full hours chasing some of the ocean's top predators right off the coast of Montauk. This ain't your average day on the water - we're going after the big boys. Threshers, makos, blues, maybe even a hammerhead if we're lucky. From May to November, these beasts are cruising our waters, and we know just where to find 'em.

The Lowdown on Your Shark Hunt

Alright, here's the deal. We kick off at the crack of dawn - 6 AM sharp. That means you'll want to grab your coffee and be ready to roll because the sharks don't wait for sleepyheads. We've got room for up to six of you on board, so bring your crew or make some new fishing buddies. Our boat's got a sweet setup with plenty of space in the cockpit, so everyone can get in on the action when we hook into something big.

Now, I know what you're thinking - "Do I need to bring my own gear?" Nope! We've got you covered with top-notch tackle that's up to the task of wrestling these monsters. Our crew knows these waters like the back of their hand, and they'll make sure you're set up for success. Just bring your game face and maybe a snack or two because we'll be out there all day long.

Reelin' In the Big Ones

Listen up, because this is where it gets good. Shark fishing isn't like your typical bass or fluke trip. We're talking heavy-duty gear and techniques that'll put you to the test. We'll be using big baits - whole fish or chunks that'll tempt those toothy critters from the deep. Once we find a good spot, we'll set up a chum slick that'll bring 'em in from miles around.

When a shark takes the bait, hold on tight! These beasts can pull like a freight train, and you'll need all your strength and stamina to reel 'em in. We use circle hooks to make sure we can safely release these awesome predators after we get some pics. It's all about the thrill of the fight and the bragging rights, not filling the cooler on these trips.

Top Catches This Season

Alright, let's talk targets. We've got three main sharks we're after, and each one's a blast in its own way.

First up, the blue shark. These guys are like the puppy dogs of the shark world - curious and always hungry. They're sleek, with a deep blue color that's just gorgeous in the sunlight. Blues can grow up to 12 feet long, but we usually catch 'em in the 6 to 8 foot range. They're known for their acrobatics, so be ready for some jumps and spins when you hook one.

Next, we've got the thresher shark. These bad boys are something else. They've got a tail that's as long as their body, and they use it like a whip to stun their prey. Threshers are smart and shy, so when you hook one, it's a real accomplishment. They can get up to 20 feet long including that tail, but most of the ones we catch are in the 8 to 10 foot range. The fight with a thresher is like nothing else - they'll use that tail to their advantage and give you a run for your money.

Last but definitely not least, the shortfin mako. If you want pure speed and power, the mako's your shark. These guys are the fastest sharks in the ocean, clocking in at up to 45 miles per hour. They're known for their crazy jumps and runs that'll have your reel smoking. Makos are a bit rarer than blues or threshers, so landing one of these is a real trophy. They average around 6 to 8 feet, but can grow much larger. The meat on a mako is also top-notch if you're into that, tasting a lot like swordfish.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Look, I've been running these trips for years, and I can tell you, there's nothing quite like the moment when a shark breaks the surface. It's a mix of excitement, adrenaline, and maybe a little bit of fear - in a good way! You'll be telling stories about this trip for years to come.

Our regulars love the challenge. It's not just about catching fish; it's about testing yourself against some of nature's most impressive predators. And let's be honest, the bragging rights are pretty sweet too. There's something special about Montauk's waters - the way the continental shelf drops off not far from shore means we get a mix of shark species you won't find in many other places.

Time to Book Your Spot

So, what do you say? Ready to join the shark crew? Remember, we're only running these trips from May 15 to November 30, Monday through Friday. At $1,750 for the whole boat, it's a steal when you split it with five of your buddies. Trust me, this isn't just fishing - it's an adventure you'll never forget.

Don't wait too long to book, though. The word's out about our shark trips, and spots fill up fast, especially during peak season. Whether you're a seasoned angler looking for your next big challenge or a newbie ready to dive into the deep end (figuratively, of course), we've got you covered. Give us a call, and let's get you out there on the hunt for Montauk's gnarliest predators. The sharks are waiting - are you ready?
